Something about Elbereth and death rhyming really caught me off guard - and the fact that Elves, perhaps, were made to suffer and cry, instead of entertaining mortality. I never really looked at it that way.

Cher Chat Noir, c'est superbe. I loved it - already knew you were very good at poems, but this one is beyond words. You express wonderfully the aching sadness of the sea-longing, as we might imagine it from the books - I really loved it. Bravo, c'était vraiment merveilleux!

Love,

Belphegorthe Weird One! :o)

this is beautiful. and such a wonderful poem subject... you've got the beauty/danger tension that just pours through Sil - in such a short piece that's impressive. good job!
